@gimruis Yes sir, there are a lot of us out here. The key is staying up with the technology. I started with MS-DOS & have stayed with it. Same applies here! If you look at younger anglers FFS isn’t their first rodeo. It ain't like they got zero experience. I think more than age it's the desire to succeed.

@gimruis Totally disagree I'm 73 & have used everything from paper graphs to FFS. It was an natural transition from one to the other. Guys my age with a background in fishing deep structure its just another tool. One way my on the water expenses helps is I know where to look. With FFS I can quickly find exactly where they're at on the structure. I think one reason why some older guys struggle with FFS is because they weren't that good with electronics is strat with.

I call it my attack bag, it's actually a camera bag.

@AlabamaSpothunter 👍 The dude is funny, a Japanese Gerald Swindle!

I started tournament fishing with one setup, if I wanted to change techniques I had to sit in the bottom of & retie.

Ever once in awhile I break this out just to remind me how easy I got it.

Agreed 👍

Nope! Don't peg either unless I'm punching mats.

What I've done for years that helps me load lighter boats in wind was to increase the length of my side boards. Mine are around 4 1/2 to 5' long, plus I moved them within an inch of the sides of the boat.

I got one jig I flip, pitch, cast, skip, & swim. Hack Attack Fluorocarbon Jig Strike King Rage Craw or Bug.

Alweld 1652VJT Minn Kota Riptide 55 lb thrust hand control. It ain't overly fast but will cut through any vegetation. I have 2 Big Foot Trolling Motor Switches, one mounted on each side of the deck. I have the trolling motor adjusted to where it does move with out physically moving it. Pretty much like @A-Jay said, I know where i wanna cast next, I point it where I want the boat posited hit the switch occasionally. Been doing this long I don't even think about it.

Easy choice 😉 Lew's LFS SS1SHA Handle anything you wanna throw from Wacky Rigs to frogging/punching.

What you did! Keep chunking-n-reeling

The only issue I've noticed about tungsten & rock is when it does hang the more you pull the tighter it wedges. Lead will give a little.

Texas Rig Jig-n-Craw Spinnerbait

#1 No wimpy hook sets! Wearing a PFD is law, ya don't break the law in my boat. You can pee off the back deck but if you wanna poop we're heading for the bank. Don't wanna see nobody ass but Carolann's.

It's on now 😉

@Glenn That was my problem with Mike's Caracal, the trolling motor was so sensitive & I was so unbalanced it look like a bobble head. I've never liked foot control & have a hand control on my boat.
